“When we get a Constitutional amendment to allow drugs...”
THERE is the root of your problem. We do not need a Constitutional amendment to “allow” the People to do something. The Constitution is a limit on the authority of the GOVERNMENT’S authority. YOU are laboring under the misapprehension that We, the People, need governmental permission to do ANYTHING. You have drunk the Koolaid of big government, of Woodrow Wilson, of FDR, of LBJ, of Bush I and II, of Clinton and Obambi. No wonder your mind is such a skull full of mush.
We, the People, can do ANYTHING we like that does not constitute an infringement on the EQUAL rights of others, that does not INITIATE any form of aggressive action against others. GOVERNMENT must live under the bonds of the Constitution. READ IT AND WEEP. Read the other writings of the Founders. Get your head out of your butt and you might even be able to see and to smell fresh air, rather than what you’re used to.
Amendments are as much a part of our Constitution as the original Constitution wording. They “amend” the wording and intent of the original document. Some Amendments take away what might have been legal, while others don't.
So, we've always had same-sex marriage and the other things mentioned above? I mean, if the Constitution allows it, it should have been pretty common after 225+ years, right?
